To the Editor:

J.P Sredzinski is on this November’s ballot for State Representative for Monroe and Newtown. I en-courage voters to join me at the polls in voting for a fellow citizen who is a dedicated advocate for peo-ple. With over 19 years of public safety experience and as current elected Chair of the Monroe Town Council, J.P. has proven himself to be a dedicated advocate.

His leadership qualities are evident as is his history of community service which includes Chairing the Monroe Police Building Renovations Committee, service on the Zoning Board of Appeals, the Con-necticut Emergency Services Advisory Board and the Greater Bridgeport Regional Planning Agency. He has also served as a guiding member of the Monroe Little League.

J.P. stands for building a business-friendly Connecticut that attracts companies and brings with it the permanent employment of citizens. He is mindful of the fact that the current political climate has en-couraged the transfer of tax dollars (meant for improvement and upkeep of roads and public transpor-tation) to balance the budget.

In today’s arena, advances in emergency public communication is necessary, supporting improved 911 technologies with an eye toward public safety is paramount. J.P.’s background is an asset in this area.

I encourage voters to come to the polls and elect J.P. Sredzinski as our state representative.
